whimsical chic • a lady bug wedding

i've had several inquiries recently about one of our favorite design motifs — the lady bug. perfect for everything from a tea party invite to a garden wedding, we love this particular design specifically because it doesn't take itself too seriously. it's whimsical, fun, and (we think) lovely.

given all the seriousness in our lives, sometimes it's worth celebrating something light and fanciful, as we do with our lady bug couture wedding invitation. it comes to guests in a cheerful polka dot box lined with black taffeta.

just as cheerful is the "l'amour" lady bug pocket folder invitation, which comes from our contemporary chic collection. sleek and simple, the shimmery red pocket holds all key inserts and information in a really playful way. honestly, they just make us happy.

there's nothing that says something as personal as a wedding can't be designed with sophisication and whimsy. if you believe in the luck of the lady bug, why not consider them as a motif for your event?

invitation options • a la carte or full service?

there are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding — so many items to choose, so many tasks to complete, so little time to do it.

as a recent bride, i was very deliberate about which tasks i chose to handle myself, and that has absolutely influenced the level of service we provide at paper olive.

our core service is intended to make the invitation process the smoothest, easiest part of your planning. you've got enough to do, after all, so our package prices include key things like rsvp and invitation envelope addressing and adhering rsvp postage.

and for those brides who can't or don't want to fumble with tying and stuffing, assembly is included. in fact, we'll even take the invitations to the post office for you. you merely cover the outer postage.

of course, during these economic times, brides who dream of chic invitations but don't want to splurge on every last detail also have lots of options.

choose letterpress invitations but print the envelopes digitally to balance your costs. swap a silk box for a silk envelope. for brides with elegant handwriting, you may choose to address your own envelopes. modifications are welcome, and the possibilities are endless.

at paper olive, it's all about you. enjoy yourself!
